Sailman 1,291 #2 Posted August 20, 2023 Closest thing I have seen would be a tool for opening or closing a water main to the house? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D_Mac 8,619 #3 Posted August 20, 2023 It's small. The size of a screwdriver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,619 #6 Posted August 20, 2023 It's not angeled to pull tacks out. Be very hard to get under a nail head or tack with it. I think it fits over something then you turn it like a screw driver but I'm not sure what. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sailman 1,291 #8 Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Maybe a tool to add leverage to turning an old brass natural gas ball valve or smaller water line? Stuck valve or hard to reach? Edited August 21, 2023 by Sailman 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D_Mac 8,619 #9 Posted August 21, 2023 I think it is for turning. It is not flat or angled enough to pull a nail or tack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnmor 7,306 #10 Posted August 21, 2023 My thought is that it was used to set ferrules on small cable, but I wouldn't want to hammer on the handle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See those old rusty nails in the tote? is the end if it magnetic? Maybe a nail holder for hard to reach places? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
